« Invisible » Comics – Graphic Notes

This article contains graphic research notes regarding the existence of « hidden » or « invisible » comics ; graphic novels for young adults which remain outside the boundaries of comics studies and comics criticism. This was conceived as an 8-page mini comic (A4, folded over twice) and is destined to serve as an introduction to an upcoming talk.
